Star Wars Black Series

[altcunningham]

Mando and Ward, maybe. Maybe.

 

[Ru1977]

It's stupid but the only one I kinda want...is the trooper with the black pauldron and pouches.

 

[docsilence]

Inordinately psyched to get Sigourney in a flight suit.

 

[Ru1977]

Everything drops for preorder tomorrow at 1pm ET

 

[altcunningham]

Who has the white boxes?

Bike Messenger Stormtrooper.

It's nice to see Hasbro is pivoting from making predominantly clones to predominantly making stormtroopers.

Maybe we can get some more Cantina aliens and Jabba's palace denizens before Star Wars becomes public domain.

 

[Ru1977]

Target and Walmart apparently

 

[Super Camel]

I definitely want Mando and Grogu, but I may get all of these. I didn't know if I'd get too much from this movie, but I like all the Troopers and how they are dirty and banged up, just barely holding on after the fall of the Empire. Then I always like Rebel Pilots. I don't know, but I like the look of everything.

 

[NORM]

Honestly tired of trooper repaints. But when they do that white first edition packaging I get really stupid hunting those down.

 

[Ru1977]

I would skip them but it looks like they did a great job on the dirt, heh

 

[Revox]

I think it's that first trooper with the leg that's a target exclusive.

What, the one that looks like he stepped in a dino turd?

Man, Dana Barrett's dressing weird in her old age.

 

[Red Ogre]

I don't have any Rebel pilots yet. Sigourney in a flight suit may spur me into going back and starting a new section on the shelf.

 

[docsilence]

Am I losing my mind or is that Mando and Grogu identical to one that went up a while back?

Unrelated - my obsession this week is, as previously mentioned "random characters who might have crossed paths outside of the films" figures. I just stuck one of Kal Kestis's spare lightsabers in

Spoiler: Spoiler's

Jod Na Nawood's

hands and put him on a shelf next to Kal and Beardy Ezra and thinking a) I know some folks hate how many Jedi-adjacent characters survived Order 66 but there really is a fun gang of half-trained, terrified kids who grew up to be interesting characters out there and that he'd make for a great bridge character between the Dark Times smuggling world and the Jedi on the run we see in shows like Kenobi.

I think as much as Disney loves the New Republic era, the Dark Times are my favorite era to see stories of. Light in the face of terrifying oppression and all that.

 

[Ru1977]

Agreed. The New Republic era can be exciting, but it's always headed toward stuff I don't want to get into. Dark Times is really exciting, AND it's headed toward the best stuff with all the best characters still active.

 

[Ru1977]

I kinda want the dirty troopers but... I guess we'll see.

BUT, the most exciting thing to me about this guy:

Is he has the segmented pauldron. In ANH, there are usually two guys with white pauldrons in any given scene. One will have the regular, smooth pauldron like everyone else's but in white, and the other guy (who was named Davin Felth in the EU) has a segmented one, so I'm reeeeeeeeally hoping this leads to them releasing another Sandtrooper soon with that pauldron above in white. Include a second, smooth white pauldron and I'll pretend I wasn't gonna buy two anyway!
